	On not completely unrelated topic:

	Windows 2000 seems to have, err, a panel applet that shows
	miscalleneus information about the battery. The information
	includes nominal capacity, real capacity, cycle count,
	manufacturing date etc.

	Does anybody known if such a utility is available for Linux?
